Hi, In the Philippines, landcover and landuse are often interchangeable. But they are completely different. Land cover is the physical material at the surface of the earth, while, land use is a description of how people utilize the land [1]
For example, I have an area mostly covered by forest so I tag them natural:forest. But a mixture of landuse (sometimes conflicting), like, tourism, quarrying, national park, etc. How do others map this? cheers, maning [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_cover -- |---------|----------------------------------------------------------| | __.-._ |"Ohhh.
